The King George Inn

While not generally a bed-​and-​breakfast person my wife and I found the King George Inn to be very nice and the price was very reasonable.
The innkeepers Lynn and Jim met us at the door, made a concerted effort to remember our names and after showing us our rooms, they invited us to join them for a glass of wine.
All of the four bedrooms were quite nice, included closets not normally found in homes of this age and were surprisingly large and comfortable. The public areas were equally spacious and comfortable.
Secure wi-​fi is provided throughout and there is TV, but only in the sitting room.
Breakfast: Wow! Best breakfast I have had in a awhile. Crepes filled with bananas and honey favored yogurt to start and then the most delicious shirred eggs.
Value: in many parts of the country the rooms at the King George Inn would easily command twice the cost of staying here.
We would certain return here. In fact we are hoping to do so within the next couple of months.

Pros: This bed and breakfast is very clean, comfortable, and pretty.
My boyfriend and I stayed there for one night in the king George room. We took an afternoon nap and then slept very well that night.
Cons: The bathroom is old — the toilet was broken and the shower changed from hot and cold erratically!
The breakfast was awful– we had stale, cold waffles! Yuck

I was disappointed from walking in the door and getting the look of «Why are you here, you’re not welcome.» When I said I had a reservation I was told that I did not and even when I showed them my printed reservation I was told I didn’t have it and that I cancelled. Lynn was very condescending especially when she kept insisting that I was the gift card person. I was told it was my fault my reservations were cancelled and that their record keeping was perfect. She refused to acknowledge her confirmation emailes to me or that she even communicated with me. When I tried telling her how disappointed I was because I made the reservations 3 months in advance for a special birthday for my husband — that didn’t matter to her because I should be happy it was just a birthday that we didn’t get to celebrate and her husband was in the hospital. I must say the reception and friendliness I received at the Sheraton was much better than I received at the King George Inn. There was absolutely no professionalism from the owners who wanted my money. Totally unacceptable.

A very pleasant and hospitable experience. The innkeepers were gracious and easy-​going, the room was very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. I would definitely recommend it as a great B&B option in Roanoke.

Elegant and Easygoing! My husband and I just got back from spending a wonderful weekend at the King George Inn. The owners, Jim and Lynn Hunt, made us feel welcome right away! The Inn is absolutely beautiful, but unpretentious. Every room is designed for comfort, as well as filled with elegance and charm. Jim and Lynn are so friendly and kind, they made us feel like family! We were down visiting our son at Virginia Tech, which is only about 40 minutes from Roanoke. When we brought him back to the Inn, the first thing I noticed was the smell of homemade brownies! After a quick snack (my son had 2 brownies, under Lynn’s urging), Jim and Lynn recommended a restaurant in the neighborhood called the «Wildflour». It is in walking distance from the Inn, and the food there was delicious! It was one of the many highlights of the trip! Breakfast was fabulous, of course! Every dish was thoughtfully planned, and filled with flavor. The dining room is family style, which provided all of the guests the opportunity to share a little of themselves. This weekend we discovered we all had lived in New Jersey at one time or another! The second night we all settled in the living room with a glass of wine to watch a Bette Davis movie on TCM. It felt like home! After another fantastic breakfast, coffee and conversation with Jim and Lynn, it was time for us to head back North! We will be back again, not only for the food and beautiful accommodations, but especially for the friendliness and warmth that Jim and Lynn shared with us.

I would definitely stay here again, and would without question recommend it to anyone. The owners, Jim and Lynn, were very knowledgable and personable. Lynn is a fantastic chef, and breakfast’s were a delight. The Inn is beautifully decorated, with large, well appointed rooms, very comfortable beds and linens, and plenty of places to curl up with a good book or congregate with fellow travelers. I hope to return to the King George Inn soon!

What a delightful place to stay while in Roanoke! If you read the other reviews, you can get an idea as to what to expect. I think the best part of the stay was meeting with the innkeepers, Jim and Lynn, who made sure that all the guests were acquainted with one another — done over cheese and crackers and wine on our first evening. They helped with recommendations and setting up our dinner reservation.
Only bad part — this is a rather old home and the windows are not operational (at least in our bedroom). I am one of those people who likes a little fresh air in the bedroom and bath.
I highly recommend this place if you are touring on the Blue Ridge Parkway (exit and entrance within 10 minute ride), or attending some of the functions at the local colleges.

My second stay here. Wonderful place. The owners, Jim and Lynn, are great. Bathrooms could use a little updating but very clean.

Here is my problem: I almost never give 5 stars.
If I did, this would be it.
Very, very nice owners — could not possibly be more friendly and supportive to dunces like me who smashed two of their logo glasses within 5 minutes of arrival.
You will certainly enjoy this B&B and its happy owners.

An absolutely spectacular historic B&B in Roanoke, Virginia.
The house itself is magnificent — massive rooms, beautifully furnished. It was built over 100 years ago by a guy who was a former mayor of Roanoke, State Senator, and on the Board of the Railway company.
It was a house built for partying and there is a ballroom on the third floor.
The Innkeepers. Jim and Lynn, are a lovely couple. and they welcomed me with a couple of glasses of wine and some cheese and crackers.
The bedroom was big and beautifully furnished, the bed was extremely comfortable.
The breakfast was absolutely magnificent.
And all of this for $ 120 a night — brilliant.
